No pass rush and seemingly any receiver can run free over the middle. Not a good combo.

Re: 2019-20 A-10 Predictions
It all comes down to the OOC. A10 has to perform significantly better than past 3 years. If the top 4 knock off some Top 50 teams in OOC and all come into league play with NET ratings in the Top 60 then 4 bids is possible as all ships rise even if they beat each other up a bit.

Re: Updated offense stats
Go straight Erhardt era and pass on almost every down.
Only runs should be with Dorsey in as Wildcat QB, eliminate the Bryant dives up the middle from Priore.
Spread out the passing game tho to be more dynamic. Get TEs, FBs, others involved. Be creative.

It’s just a waste of 2 of the most dynamic offensive players we have had in a while in Parker and Dorsey. You can literally throw it up and Parker wins the jump ball 9 times out of 10. So disappointing the kid won’t go out a winner he’s a generational talent for us.

Good to very good recruiter. Mediocre coach.

Parker is a stud and best player on the field every game
Our defensive line has been bullied now for 2 straight games. No pressure on QB and gashing runs right up the gut.
Our play calling continues to be a big weakness. Lacks imagination. More should be done to put ball in Dorseys hands.

Using these rankings we will play 13 games against Top 75.
6 of those at home
6 away
1 neutral
Best Rhody schedule in as long as I can remember.
If we reach our ceiling I have to imagine we will break the attendance records. Prediction contest should be extra fun this year.

Re: '20 DC SG - Ishmael Leggett (Rhode Island Commit)
Yes seem a like a true combo guard. Love his build and his high shooting % and ability to finish with either hand seems to indicate he got a lot of buckets inside the 3 pt line. Built like a bull. Scouts also point to his high bball IQ which translates excellent for a lead guard/PG.

Re: '20 DC SG - Ishmael Leggett (Rhode Island Commit)
Based on his videos, scouting reports and muscular build he clearly looks like more of a slashing/attack the paint kind of guard, vs a perimeter scorer. I think the low number of 3 pt shots vs his other shots (12.5% of total attempts based on EYBL stats) seems to also indicate that.
